Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

I vaguely recall @juanmanuelfangioii posting at ASR but I may be misremembering as the account isn’t findable (although possibly deleted). It’s a memorable user name though. YouTube or Darko or somewhere else perhaps. I’ve asked what was ban-worthy in my posts here but received no answer. I doubt there’s a conversation to be had.

@laoman unfortunately I have also observed the behaviours you describe from ASR’s founder, I’ve even discussed directly, as noted above. I just think it’s a mistake to carry on like that, a bit of humility and willingness to consider others goes a long way.

What happened to the post about the cage full of squawking parrots?That almost compensated for the whole ASR experience!

@prof 

You seem very reasonable. Read @laoman  's posts and tell me if I am off base.

@laoman all you have done is thrown insults. Amir was rather cordial when he first came on this topic. Neither he nor anyone should have to put up with the lies and abuse that you and others delivered. You twisted his words. You claimed he said things he did not. You called him a liar without justification.

@laoman you also made made a snarky comment about my wine knowledge based on a post I wrote but have not in any way shown what I wrote was incorrect. You made a similar comment about my audio knowledge, though I have never claimed to be an expert, yet you have provided no support that anything I have said is incorrect.  If this is how you behave why would you expect respectful behavior from others?

For the record @laoman , in my first post I commented that I found the ASR mood at time toxic. However I don't see the blatant repeated lies masquerading as arguments I see in this topic.

I am in no position of authority to question Amir's testing methods other than wrt general scientific rigor. I know you are certainly not in a position to question his methods. I would hazard a guess that the members of ASR are far far more qualified to question his methods than people here. Far more. There are threads on test methods on ASR and what could be improved. However, complain as you will, many manufacturers respect his results. With all the qualified people that participate in ASR, and accept the results, it is arrogance on your unqualified part to be sniping about his methods.

The problem I have is people telling me what I can not hear. If I hear differences in cables, I want to learn what is happening. If other people tell me that it is impossible and I am delusional, I find that not the right attitude for investigating the parameters for what is causing that effect. (geometry, dielectrics, purity, etc...). 

Good scientists push the envelope, share knowledge and are humble. Measuring things is just measuring. Nothing more, nothing less. Measuring is not a sacred, end to all discussions, type of knowledge.
